Hot spots continue to bear brunt of rain
Hindustan Times
|May 26, 2025
Intense thunderstorms and rainfall on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday laid bare authorities' "pre-monsoon preparedness" plans, with usual waterlogging hot spots-Minto Bridge, Azadpur, ITO, airport approach and Zakhira-severely inundated with knee-deep water on arterial stretches and waist-high water in underpasses.
As Delhi was battered overnight, flights were disrupted, trees and electricity poles were uprooted, and roads filled with water were a common sight.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Delhi received 81.22mm of rainfallclassified as "very heavy" and certainly unusual for May-between 11.30pm on Saturday and 5.30am on Sunday. Gust winds of 82 kilometres per hour speed also stormed through the city, as per IMD data.
No hot-spot resolution
A PWD official, on condition of anonymity, said that more than 117 waterlogging-related complaints were received by the control room, but several of these pertained to other agencies and some were overlapping complaints related to the same site.
